The most popular games consoles are the phones everyone has already, because they do other things, the game playing is effectively free. Not to mention that the games themselves have an upfront cost of $0 as well. "Free" is hard to beat.

The Quest 2 standalone route and the PS5VR route are both extremely limited options for "VR gaming", and that's saying something with how meager the PC VR video game scene is.
